How to install plugin? about elasticsearch HOT 14 CLOSED

Heres an example of how I installed the head plugin

1. Start container with volume for plugins and es as its name

docker run -d -P  -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 --name "es" -v "$PWD/es/plugins":/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins elasticsearch 

1. Install head plugin

docker exec es /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin -install mobz/elasticsearch-head

So how to install plugin?

from elasticsearch.

@wgriffiths the second command depends on your elasticsearch version
if you are using 2.0 then use the same command without the dash character before install
docker exec es /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin install mobz/elasticsearch-head

Hope this helps

Update

Edited the command after this comment

So I think the command becomes docker exec es /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install mobz/elasticsearch-head

Thanks everyone and hopes it helps

In case anyone else is running the latest container

docker pull elasticsearch

Somehow the command was changed to /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin

5.2 breaks tons of plugins including their own "Marvel" plugin.

I ran into this same problem with elasticsearch:5.6. And #32 (comment) indeed was the solution.

For prosperities sake, here's how I debugged the problem:

I had a docker file

FROM elasticsearch:5.6

COPY my-plugin.zip /
RUN /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin install file:///my-plugin.zip

But, I would get the following

$ docker build . -t elasticsearch:my-plugin
Sending build context to Docker daemon  24.37MB
Step 1/5 : FROM elasticsearch:5.6
 ---> 9b44bde11dd8
Step 2/5 : COPY my-plugin.zip /
 ---> Using cache
 ---> a27fd93eddb0
Step 3/5 : RUN /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin install file:///my-plugin.zip
 ---> Running in 78ccd46dcc6b
/bin/sh: 1: /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin: not found
The command '/bin/sh -c /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin install file:///my-plugin.zip' returned a non-zero code: 127

So I took the intermediate hash a27fd93eddb0 and did the following:

$ docker run --rm --it a27fd93eddb0 bash
[root@43211f8792a3:/usr/share/elasticsearch]# ls -h /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/
elasticsearch			elasticsearch-plugin			elasticsearch-translog
elasticsearch-keystore	elasticsearch-systemd-pre-exec	elasticsearch.in.sh

Thar she blows! It's elasticsearch-plugin not plugin.

After the last comment here, an official blog post was published:

In later versions /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin has been changed to /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin.

Looks like the change from plugin -> elasticsearch-plugin was back in 5.0. Note that /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/ is in the PATH on all of the images, so you can use plugin on the 1 and 2 series and elasticsearch-plugin on 5 and up.

docker exec es /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin install mobz/elasticsearch-head

Thank you, vefy helpful for me.

That walkthrough is for dockerfile/elasticsearch, not the official image elasticsearch. You will probably just need to change all the container paths from /data to /usr/share/elasticsearch/data. I am not entirely sure on the config file placement since there is a /usr/share/elasticsearch/config directory.

You can use docker exec or create your own Docker image, that overrides this one.

Then refer to traditional elastic documentation to see the plugin installation syntax.

@wgriffiths , Thanks!

I'm suggest to append this link ( https://www.elastic.co/blog/elasticsearch-docker-plugin-management ) in README

from elasticsearch.

The executable path is correct, but the plugins themselves are not found. Docs say these plugins were moved into X-Pack: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/installing-marvel.html
